28. HUMANITY MISUNDERSTOOD

Humanity
Misunderstood me
      When
I stood an inch higher.

   Humanity
Misunderstood me
      When
I stood an inch lower.

   Humanity
Misunderstood me
      When
I stood parallel.

   Therefore
My frustration-life
Is pining to enter
Into the world-chasm of nowhere.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, Part 15, Vishma Press, New York, 1974
